23 Sep 08 Treading Water in a Job Search
I’ve been reading a book called One Person / Multiple Careers by Marci Alboher
I have been searching for a position that combines what I do with social/new media with the business intelligence/development stuff I get paid for. I am still unsure if and how these both can be done, or if I should continue pursuing these disparately.
I have had a number of friends suggest that I pursue a career in new media marketing, because I’m great at it. My nature has not been one to take risks, and I know that has limited me from opportunities.

I feel like I’m treading water right now. I know that I’m not passionate enough about different programming languages to spend time trying to keep up with that technology. I am more passionate about interacting with people.
What do you think? How would you recommend I continue my search? I’m open to your suggestions.
